Has anyone made a big life commitment such as buying a house or having a kid and then realize you want to switch jobs? How did you go about doing that?

I think it's important to be strategic around major life changes. I feel like when I go through a major life change, I get this impulse to start overhauling everything, and it's not always the best idea. I think it's a good idea generally to wait around six months before committing to any major life change before doing another one. Sometimes the desire to try something new fades.

Yes. Buying a house made me realize I really needed to make more money. We weren't house poor, just had a major added expense added in the form of a mortgage. I just made applying to better paying roles my second full time job until I landed one. Very glad I did. Mortgage payment is the same, but taxes + homeowners insurance both went up since we bought 😭.

Recently decided to settle down and get a house. It made more sense compared to renting. Then I ended up switching jobs afterwards. Fortunately things worked out but nervous if I were to look for another job that’s a bit further out.
